The first one was a single pipe (as was the "dyno pulls" video).The others are duals (in the dark with the V6, otherwise with the V8.

A little farther down in the comments you'll see I thought it was a FRPP "GTA" muffler; I found out it was a GT takeoff muffler.

Later I put on the FRPP dual setup with FRPP GTAs. Click my username "fsheff0" to access the same kind of demo video.

I now have a GT/CS coupe with manual trans and a GT/CS convertible with automatic. In similar circumstances, the automatic is a tenth of a second quicker in the eighth-mile, so far.

sounds like a 350z, what kind of exhaust?

[fsheff0]

I am informed by reliable sources that the muffler is actually a GT takeoff, not the GTA. I guess I missed some cues when the seller posted his auction info. Now I know what a GTA looks like, and this isn't it. Still works and sounds good, but I don't like being fooled. Ah, well; live and learn.

hey how much was the total price and wer'd u get it? thx sweet ride im gettin mine this summer. its a damn nice car

Turns out I was hoodwinked and the exhaust you heard was a simple GT takeoff muffler.

I just put on the FRPP M-5230-V6 dual exhaust setup. Looks as if it'll take some getting-used-to. Big boom node at low-load and 1000 rpm. Otherwise pretty crisp. Maybe even a little ricey at wide open throttle mid-range.

I'll see if I can get some video comparable to the on-the-road It may be a while.

on city streets the interior gets pretty loud until 3rd gear just from the engine lol

Damn, that thing sounds great!

whats the best sounding exhaust for a mustang I was looking into flow maasters but the cops where I live are very old and enforce distubing the peace more than anything else.So those things are waay to loud. I just want something with a strong sound but can be quiet with a low rev

@fsheff0 well autos for sure will hit gears quicker if you dont know how to shift in a manual, i have on multiple accounts smoked out autos but i i have just as many times missed shifts or hung too long between gears or messed up a launch, IMO whatever trans you have is up to you, its how you build the car that matters

@belgvr Then you have bought a 4 door sedan....

@DarkHour404 Friend, i didn't talk about performance... i do know the difference of driving a auto and a manual but i like AUTO because of the comfort, i'm not a racer, so i don't need a manual... BUT i have a volkswagen Santana we bought in 1996, and it's manual.. does that mean that i hate this car? NO... but who likes to get tired of stepping on the clutch, put on 1st, then clutch again, 2nd, now stop, clutch, brake, back to 1st, 2nd, etc.. i want conmfort... i want to step on the gas and GO

[DarkHour404]

Belgvr, have you ever been on a circuit race? do you even KNOW the diffrence of driving a automatic and a stick? When you drive a stick, you have to worry about your speed, when to shift, when to stop and make sure to balance out the RPM's so your car dosnt redline and blow the engine. You have to know what gear to put it in, every turn, AND you have to keep your eye on the road and around you. In a auto, you just have to use your right foot to stop and go....
